The Turkish international shared an image on his Instagram with the following caption, “I want to thank the GQ family for this award.”

Turan was accused of partying with a group of girls into the early morning following the award but he strongly denied the rumours.

“Apparently I was dancing with girls all night, these bloodsucking reporters have no shame to fabricate lies and accuse people with ridiculous stories, I was at an award ceremony and went home after,” Turan said.

Turan became the first Turkish player to win a La Liga title when Atletico Madrid lifted the title last season.

The 27-year-old winger is expected to start for Turkey in the Euro 2016 Group A qualification game against Kazakhstan on Sunday November 16.
